Theundergraduate educational program in Bioengineering (BIOE) has the goal of producing a newtype of biomedical engineer, fully conversant with modern biochemistry and cell and molecularbiology. This type of biomedical engineer will translate bench-scale scientific advances inbiological sciences into cost-effective new products and processes

Abstract A two semester senior level capstone design course has been restructured (Senior Design I and II) in response to the outcomes defined by the industry to assure job ready engineers and outcomes set by the academicians to assure math and science based fundamentals. The restructuring purpose was also to align the course outcomes with the college mission of graduating „Career- Ready‟ engineers. The department offers programs in civil engineering and construction engineering. Both program curriculums require a two semester course on a comprehensive design application. The courses are designed to meet specific ABET outcomes. Also to meet an additional program outcome of: students are able to explain

While it is of course the case that students need to developtechnical fluency in science, engineering, and math, as well as the ability to approach problemsfrom a multidisciplinary perspective, there is reason to believe that these science/technologyskills are not sufficient to foster engineering achievement in school and in life.

This analysis showed conclusively that the observed decrease inthe number of CPA exam-takers was not due to the 150-hour requirement. Specifically, therewas no statistically significant correlation between the 150-hour requirement and the number ofCPA exam candidates. To cite just one of many examples of data from the study: 8 jurisdictionsnever enacted the 150-hour requirement during the period 1998 to 2008. These constitute 15%of all jurisdictions; and, despite no change in the exam requirements, they experienced about20% of the total decline in exam-takers—a clear indicator that the decline was independent ofthe requirement.

students who are working can more easily relate to ethical issues, can sense the interpersonalissues involved and can sort out the responsibility lines. Typically, these students enter college fiveto fifteen years later than the traditional students, work full time in industry, and invest five to tenyears earning an A.S. degree. For instance, they pick up well on the career implications of mostethical dilemmas. They bring to the classroom an appreciation for the pressures in the industrialworld and the methods used to cope with them. The younger students, in general, try to follow atypical textbook approach in their course of action, and then come up with a solution, which,although correct in theory, sometimes would not go over well in a real
